I am a nurse scientist, educator, and academic leader at the University of Delaware, where I serve as Professor and Associate Dean for Faculty and Student Affairs in the School of Nursing and Director of the ACHIEVE Program in the Office of the Provost. My career has focused on developing people and programs that strengthen nursing education, faculty success, and the health of our communities. My scholarship focuses on Type 1 diabetes and health behaviors during life transitions, nursing workforce development, and well-being in academic nursing. I am particularly passionate about mentoring faculty, creating supportive academic environments, and helping individuals and institutions translate their strengths into meaningful impact.
